Be it kin-ivm that I, Enum A. zenof thc-'United States,4 residing at Amboy, in the county ofvLcc und Stteof Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improveiiieiit's in Sockets for Use in Concrete wor of which tlic following is a .sipecicnion i AThe present invention relates to improvements in building' construction of that character in which concrete orsimilar plastic niateriiil is employed and wooden studs or like members' must be connected to crete portion. i

More specifically thc invention resides in the provision of n novel construction. of socket member which is peculiarly'designed so as to produce :i firm hond with the plastic Vniatcijnil :ind forni a socket to receive the tenon ofa sind or like niemhcii or a f iili understanding of the 'invention and thc ni'erits thereof mid also to acquire a' knowledge of the details of'construction and the means for effecting the result, reference is to be had toiheifolloivirg description and acconipniyingili'iiwings, iii which;

Fiuure l is n-perspcct-ive View of a socket m'emxber embodying the invention. Fig.-2 is u siniiltir4 view showing tho bottoni ofthe socket member. 4vFig. 3 is n'perspective view showing the device applied; Fig. .4' is a, longitudinal sectional view throught-he socket member. f Y

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the followinfY description and indicated in all the Views o? the. drawings bythe same reference characters.

Specifically describing the present cmbodiriicnt of lthe uivention, the numeral. 1

'designates a tubular casing desiffned 'to have one end ther-coi em'nedded in the base .2 of Vconcrete or similar plastic nniterial is shown in Fig. 3, the concrete extending upvvin'dly within the cosi-iig to ii level with that. upon. the outside 'of the' casing. The portion of' tle casing pijecting :iliovc the brise 2 forms a socket to receive the tciion of a stud 3 or like'member and :in opening is formed in one side of the casino through which a fastening member 4 muyxlie driven into engagement, witliJt-lic tenori4 the conrotting of the timber.

The end of the tubular casing 1 which is embedded in the plastic base 2 is provided with a laterally extending hollow shoe comprising the sigles 5 sind the inclined top 6 and the space'ivithin'th'e shoe is filled with the Patented sept. 22, 19`os.

plastic materiel so as to obtain a firm bond therewith. It will also be observed that the top 6 of Vthe shoe hes an opening 7 therein designed to' receive n wire cable h or similar tie member which is embedded in the plastic base 2 in order to reinforce the suine. Itis designed that these cables connect spaced socket nienibcrsso as to prevent spreading ofthe huildin;y should the floor bcc-ome cracked. Attention is also directed to the fact that a. drain opening 9 is formed in one side of the casing 1 immediately above the surface of the floor or base f2 to prevent accumulation of moisture within the socket land consequent ent thai-t the present device when embedded in the concrete portion of the building forms secure bond therewith and also projects beyond Athe concrete and constitutes a socket to lt will thus be apparreceive'tl'm tenori at the end of a stud or like member.,

Having thus described the invention;wliat is claimed as new is: l

1. A socket for connecting-si stud to arbase of plastic material', the seid socket comprising s) tubular casing one end of which is designed t0 receive the stud while th opposite end is designedto be embedded in' the lastic i base aritljs provided with means for o training n tirm bondl therewith. 2. A socket for connect-ing astud to a base of plastic materiah thcvsaid socket comprising a tubular casing one; end of lwhich is designed to be en'ibcdded in the plast'icbase and is providedwitli a laterally projecting hollow.'

slioc'for obtaining a rni ond therewith.

3. A socket for'co'nnectin a stud t-o a base -i `plastic meteri'iil and is provided with e; letern projecting hollow shoe for obt'qinniga i 'ally tirm ond therewith, the lio1lov- 1 shoe. being formt-d with spiced sides and an inclined top.
